On the second day, Xiao Yu cut branches in the apple orchard with his parents as usual. This is what he has done basically every year since he came to Shimo Village! People in the entire village rely on the apple orchard to sustain their lives.
, but fortunately, as the state provides more and more subsidies to farmers, some young people working outside have returned to Shimo Village and started planting apples.
The area for planting apples in Shimo Village is also expanding crazily. Basically all the surrounding hills are contracted, and there is a strong tendency to continue to expand.
"Strange, why didn't Grandma Wang go up the mountain today?" Xiao Yu cut off a useless branch and said with some confusion.
Xiao Qiang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile, "Your Grandma Wang went out to deliver the baby last night. She had to climb a few mountains. She must be tired and will probably come back later."
"Dumb..." Xiao Yu's mother stretched out her hand and kept making some gestures. Xiao Yu could understand these gestures. His mother meant that Grandma Wang just came back this morning and seemed to be sick.
"Mom, you said Grandma Wang is sick?" Xiao Yu said.
Xiao Yu's mother nodded, and then started to sign again, meaning that when she saw Aunt Wang's granddaughter this morning, she said that Aunt Wang was sick and he was going to the town to buy medicine.
"Grandma Wang has always been in good health. She went out last night and fell ill when she came back. Could it be that she encountered something unclean?" Xiao Yu murmured to himself.
Xiao Qiang, who was on the side, couldn't help but frown after hearing this. He immediately glared at Xiao Yu and said, "Don't talk nonsense. How old are you and what do you know? Don't think that you have learned something by going to Taoist temples frequently. Go to school early next year and you won't miss a day."
A true shape".
Xiao Yu stuck out his tongue and said nothing, but he muttered secretly in his heart, "Grandma Wang's face turned black a few days ago, as if she had encountered something unclean. Today, Grandma Wang is sick. It seems that there is indeed something wrong with this."
question".
With this thought in his mind, Xiao Yu yawned and said, "Mom and Dad, I'm sleepy. Let's go home first."
"Go back, there is cold water on the table, don't drink well water all day," Xiao Qiang said behind him.
"I know..." Xiao Yu replied from afar, but he was thinking about Grandma Wang, so he trotted all the way, directly to Grandma Wang's house.
Because Grandma Wang is a stable mother nearby, her usual income is more than that of ordinary families. In addition, several of her sons are working outside, and they send money back on time every month! So Grandma Wang’s home is in the village.
The first people to live in a brick house, even though the brick house was only one floor, were already significant figures in Shimo Village.
When Xiao Yu walked into Grandma Wang's yard, he saw that Grandma Wang's daughter-in-law was weaving bamboo baskets in preparation for this year's apple harvest. Next to the woman, there was a small stove with a casserole on it.
There was a pungent smell of Chinese medicine inside.
"Aunt Li, is Grandma Wang feeling better?" Xiao Yu asked impatiently as soon as he entered the door.
"Hey, it's Xiao Yu, come in quickly." Aunt Li saw Xiao Yu and immediately greeted her enthusiastically. At the same time, she took out an apple from the bamboo basket on one side and said, "Come, eat an apple. It was just taken out from the cellar."
of".
"Thank you Aunt Li." Xiao Yu took the apple with a smile, took a big bite, and then said, "I heard that Grandma Wang is sick. How are you doing now?"
"The barefoot doctor just left. He said it was a cold and he prescribed medicine." As Aunt Li spoke, she turned around from time to time and turned over the bowl of Chinese medicine with two chopsticks.
"Oh... let me go in and take a look." Xiao Yu responded, and then while eating the apple, he raised his legs and walked to the back room. Aunt Li outside also poured the medicine into the bowl and followed Xiao Yu.
As soon as he walked into the house, Xiao Yu frowned immediately, because this room faced the east, and the sun came directly in in the morning. It should be said that the yang energy should be very strong, but this house has a heavy yin energy, and this yin energy
It doesn't look like it just appeared, it looks like it has been gathering for many years.
Just when Xiao Yu was confused, he suddenly heard a burst of children's laughter. The laughter became louder and louder. The source of the sound was coming from Grandma Wang's room.
Seeing Xiao Yu standing there and not leaving, Aunt Li asked with some confusion, "Xiao Yu, why don't you leave?"
Xiao Yu didn't speak, but just raised his head and looked around and said, "Aunt Li, I just heard the child's laughter. Are there any relatives in your family visiting Grandma Wang?"
"Child? No, your grandma Wang just got sick when she came back last night. His granddaughter hasn't come back yet. Where did the child come from?" Aunt Li didn't notice anything unusual about Xiao Yu. After a brief talk, she raised the door curtain and left.
Went in.
Xiao Yu was a little confused, but still followed him. But when he walked into Grandma Wang's room, he was shocked because at this time he saw six or seven children in Grandma Wang's room. These children were all wearing clothes.
With red bellybands, some were sitting on the ground and some were leaning against the wall. All of them looked pale and seemed a little dull.
"Good guy, have you entered the children's nest?" Xiao Yu muttered in his heart, but did not go to see the children and followed Aunt Li directly to Grandma Wang's bed.
"Mom, come and drink the medicine. Doctor Barefoot said it's not a serious illness and you'll be fine after taking the medicine." Aunt Li said, standing in front of the bed with a whimpering voice.
"Grandma Wang..." Xiao Yu greeted, and was about to say something, but suddenly saw a child lying on Grandma Wang's pillow, but this child's face was blue and his eyes were red.
She looks smaller than other children, but the yin energy in her body is much stronger than other children.
Xiao Yu just glanced at the child and immediately took out a folded talisman from his arms. This kind of talisman was drawn by Xiao Yu when he was free at the Taoist temple. Although it was not very powerful, it was more than enough to deal with these child spirits.
"Grandma Wang, the Taoist master gave me a talisman yesterday, saying it can ward off evil spirits. If you put it on your body, maybe your illness will be cured." Xiao Yu pretended to be fine and handed the talisman to Grandma Wang.
"Well, good boy, so filial." Grandma Wang said weakly, and without being polite, she put the talisman in her pocket! Then she took Aunt Li's medicine and drank it in one gulp.
Sure enough, after Grandma Wang took the talisman given by Xiao Yu, the yin energy on his forehead immediately dissipated a lot, and Grandma Wang's complexion began to become rosy.
"This Barefoot Doctor's medicine is indeed effective. As soon as I drank it, I felt stronger," Grandma Wang said in surprise.
Xiao Yu smiled, and then glanced at the child beside the pillow out of the corner of his eye. He saw the child looking at Grandma Wang in surprise, and then looked at Grandma Wang's pocket with the talisman in it, and then his expression suddenly became ferocious.
.
"ah…..".
The child let out a terrifying scream, as if he was calling for something! After the child's scream came out, the children standing in the center of the room immediately gathered around the bed! And the red-eyed child even had his hands turned into claws.
